Wizordum

Wizordum is a retro first-person shooter developed by Emberheart Games, also known for Emberheart Games.

Plot

The game is set in a magical fantasy land on the brink of destruction - the Ancient Seal of Terrabruma has shattered, unleashing bloodthirsty hordes of Chaos onto the mortal world. We play as one of the last mages from the titular sanctuary of Wizordum, who must discover what happened and repel the evil armies before they destroy the world.

Mechanics

Wizordum is a first-person shooter heavily inspired by 1990s games of the same genre. The player must traverse vast stages, fight hordes of enemies and solve puzzles.

In combat, we can wield many different spells and magical weapons. We must also avoid traps and find hidden rooms full of treasures.

The game is very speedrun-friendly, featuring several difficulty levels and online leaderboards to compare our times with other players'. Aside from regular levels, there are also special challenges to test our skills at.

Game modes

The game only supports singleplayer.

Technical aspects

Wizordum is inspired by 1994-1995 games visually as well. The maps are 3D, but the enemies and objects are 2D sprites.

The game also includes an accessible level editor, which lets us create our own stages and share them with the community.
